I hear colon cleansing has very good health benefits. Does anyone have any information?

his Doctor ordered a colonoscopy and fortunalty found nothing to be wrong there, now the doc wants to send him to an anal specialist but sais no need to worry about the prostate but yet that is where the pain is? The Doctor did not want to talk to us about thta at all and kept avoiding the question any suggestions or web sites we can go to to look into this further i love him dearly and want to keep him in good health please any comments are greatly appreciated

A clean colon is the foundation of good health you know.
Wow, calm down Elana. There are non invasive ways to clean a colon.
Homeopaths believe colon cleansing is an important part of good health – no one is asking you to.

Alright, so sometimes when I am just sitting in class or chilling and watching TV I will have the most god-awful prostate/rectal pains imaginable. They come with no warning and it almost feels like a surging pain. I am 21 years old and have been experiencing these surges randomly for years…I am in good health-I am 6′4" 185…sometimes it only happens like once a week, other times it is more frequent…Anyone have similar pains or know what the hell is the matter with me?

Hi, I am eleven years old and have a pretty good health history and I don’t get sick very often. I didn’t pass bowel movements for a week or so, and I told my mom. A day later I finally went just a tiny bit. It’s been three days since I’ve passed a bowel. Finally, just now, I went. This is gross, but I couldn’t go so I stuck toilet paper on my finger and put it up my anus. I took it out and there was a big amount of blood. I repeated the process and showed my mom. Then, I went a couple pebbles of bowel movement, and there was blood. She said she wasn’t too concerned. I kept trying to go and it was painful. I don’t think I got all my bowel out, but now my anus feels really swollen and it really hurts. It almost feels like it’s "tight." There was also some dark mucus in my bowel. I didn’t eat anything out of the ordinary. I looked at my butt on the inside in the mirror and there are three giant red swollen lumps inside. My mom said they are hemorrhoids and was puzzled because she never heard of a child getting one. She bought me some cream but i’m still on the toilet for hours and hours in bouts of pain. I have anxiety and don’t feel comfortable with a doctor looking in there. I got pepto bismol, stool softener medicine, cream, and an enema. I used the enema and it really stung. All that came out was the enema, and it looked like my butt was urinating. It also burned. I just went and a gallon of mucus came out. What should I do? Could it be something other then a hemorrhoid? What could it be?

ok here is the deal I’m 23 yeas old and in pretty good health overweight and I battle mental health disorders and Have OCD. I’m worried that I have something wrong with my colon and I mean I know I do I have bile salts diahreea no family history of colon cancer and a family history of Poplps but not untill later in life in the 50 and 60s. I keep thinking that I see red in my stool and it freaks me out. I mean only if I dont take my questran otherwise the stool is formed and everything. I have seen two medical doctors that say its just bile salt diahreea and a surgeron who says proforming a colonscopy is more dangous then not with not having any other smphotms. I just want to know what someone else thinks am I freaking out to much. I so feel that a 23 yeas old shouldnt have to worry about something like this and oh yeah I did have my gallbladder out thats how I got the bile salt diahreea. Someone please help me ease my mind

sometimes I get a quick sharp or dull feeling in my rectum. I use feeling, instead of pain, because it doesnt really hurt, it isnt unbareable pain…it happens for a second and then goes away. i’ve been experiencing it for about a month. I think i have experienced it in the pastm but never paid attention to it. I am a 33 yr old female, in good health and have been a vegetarian for 17 years, if that matters at all. i have never seen blood in my stools, can this feeling mean that i have colon or rectal cancer?
thank you..No, I dont have any family history of colon/rectal cancer
